Reno Channel 2 News reports:

"A Las Vegas-based company says Nevada has set the world record for the “Most People Singing A State Song at Once” with 45,553 Nevadans participating. 

Last month's #NevadaSings event was made possible through a sponsorship from Sempra U.S. Gas & Power for the Nevada 150 Commission. 

Nevadans entered their video or photo proof singing with co-workers, friends, family, schools and businesses at more than 500 locations. RecordSetter, a Las Vegas-based company, established and verified the record.
